The Oakville senior died after being struck by a car Thursday evening in Burlington.

Just before 7 p.m. on March 6, the 75-year-old was rushed to Hamilton General Hospital in serious condition after he was hit near the intersection of Mainway and Northside Road in Burlington.

He died at the hospital on Saturday afternoon with his family at his side.

The accident closed the roadway for several hours as members of the Halton Regional Police Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU), as well as the Identification Unit, conducted their investigation.

The driver of the vehicle involved — a four-door Saturn sedan — remained at the scene. The 44-year-old Burlington man was not injured and was taken to the police station where he was interviewed before he returned home.

The CRU is still investigating. Any witnesses are asked to call 905-825-4747, ext. 5065.
